An incredibly attractive bargate stone cottage with private driveway, integral garage and professionally landscaped south west facing garden. With immense charm and character, features include two separate reception rooms, first floor bathroom and potential accommodation extending to almost 1000 sq.ft. A viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate this beautiful town centre home that is just a short walk to the mainline station. No chain. EPC rating D.
Dating back to the late 1800s this exceptional home emanates a sense of style and elegance and sits within a quintessential row of period houses. Behind a Bargate stone facade, with feature quoins and lintels, its exemplary interior remains respectful of the property’s history with the carefully curated aesthetics of accent heritage hues, fireplaces and brickwork while tasteful finishing touches lend a subtle dash of contemporary luxury.
Arranged to allow the tiered south-east facing gardens play an integral part of daily life, the considered layout of the main living accommodation has a hugely fluid feel. A navy accent wall with a colour drenched brick chimney breast and fireplace creates a refined focal point in an excellent reception room. A limed engineered wood floor stretches out beneath your feet, floating shelving nestles in an alcove and dado rails wrap-around enhancing the charm.
Along the hallway a sympathetically chosen kitchen is fully fitted with Shaker-style cabinetry and sleek polished concrete countertops while a feature driftwood wall with a fitted breakfast table adds a rustic coastal cottage feel with its texture and fisherman’s lamp. An array of integrated appliances provide every convenience for modern family life and the ergonomic layout makes a clever use of space with a Stoves freestanding cooker placed within a metro tiled chimney breast with an exposed timber lintel. Beautifully filled with natural light, this inviting space connects with an adjoining dining room equally suited for day to day meals or entertaining friends. Its demi-glazed door makes it effortlessly easy to step outside and explore the various tiers of the landscaped garden.
Bordered by superb original stonework the gently turning staircase leads the way up to the top floor where a duo of bedrooms echo the superior presentation and attention to detail that makes this house into such a cohesive home. Achieving the fine balance of being both elegant and enticing, an enviable main double bedroom has fitted wardrobes which sit to either side of the chimney breast and lend a crisp white contrast to the rich deep green colour scheme while carpeting keeps things cosy underfoot.
With garden vistas, picture rails and baby blue walls, the equally impressive second room has a wealth of storage within a wall of mirror door wardrobes and provides an ideal choice for either a large nursery, a home office, or guest room if preferred. Together they share a brilliantly sized and styled bathroom that adds a final touch of class with its metro tile setting, heritage basin console and grey panelled bath with an overhead shower.
Outside
Gently elevated from Latimer Road, the classic Bargate stone facade with its contrasting window and doorway detailing immediately generates a superior first impression, while a small private hardstanding combines with an integral garage to provide the added bonus of off-road parking for a small vehicle.
To the rear the demi-glazed door of the dining room tempts you out onto a courtyard patio that supplies an escape from a busy day. Set to the backdrop of leafy trees, landscaped tiers reach up before you producing a choice of places to sit back and unwind or enjoy al fresco meals. Stroll to the top and it’s there that you’ll find a terrace with composite decking that gives an idyllic vantage point to admire the picturesque views.
